for reference ; Original Equipment stock sizes as supplied from Kawasaki are...
1998-2001 KAWASAKI ZX-9R   OEM size is 530x110 x-ring chain, 16t Ft. Sprocket, 41t Rear Sprocket
2002-2003 KAWASAKI ZX-9R   OEM size is 525x110 x-ring chain, 16t Ft. Sprocket, 41t Rear Sprocket
 
 
 
For QUICK ACCELERATION gear ratio kit (quick off the line, quick roll on's, wheelies), use a 15t (-1t) front sprocket and a 42t (+1t). (this QA Kit 15/42t is the default gearing that will be sent unless otherwise specified)
   *Note; Your top gear cruising rpm's will be higher, and your top speed will be lower with this quick acceleration kit.
You will always be able to switch back to near oem gearing by changing the front sprocket back to a 16t with the same length chain and 41t rear sprocket supplied with this kit.
 

Original Factory Supplied OEM size sprockets are the calculated "Happy Medium" of off the line acceleration, roll on's, and high speed engine rpm's with the least amount of compromise on either top end or low end acceleration.
 An available 520 size conversion (narrower, lighter chain and sprockets) does NOT affect final drive ratio, only changing number of teeth on sprockets actually changes gear ratio.
 If you just want upgraded final drive components kit , but are useing your entire gear box ratio as it is from Kawasaki, then request OEM 16/41t OEM sprocket sizes. ***41t is back ordered at this time***
 

 FREEWAY GEARING..  If you want a slightly lower top gear cruising rpm's and a slightly higher top speed, then request 16t front and 39t (-2t) rear size sprocket.
Your gearing will be slightly slower off the line, but your top speed will be higher, and your top gear cruising rpm's will be lower.
 

 
Teeth and Sizes Explained...
**   A -1t front sprocket only change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as +3t rear sprocket only change. (Reg. QA Kit)
**   A -2t front sprocket change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as +6t rear sprocket change (Very Extreme QA) Not Available!
**   A -1t front and +1t rear combination is EXACTLY the same as a +4t rear only change with stock front sprocket. (Extreme QA Kit)
**   A 520 size chain is approx. 2mm narrower than a 525 chain, and 4mm narrower than a 530 chain. Less mass equals lighter weight equals easier to spin, but the ratio (teeth size) change makes the big difference. The sprocket width matches the chain width where it rides on the sprockets, thus a 520 chain must use 520 sprockets, and a 525 chain must use 525 sprockets, etc...
**   RPE Motorcycle has chain and sprocket conversion kits available in 520 , 525 , and 530 sizes for most motorcycles.
**  A larger rear sprocket number of teeth size requires a longer chain, however +1 or -1 tooth on the front sprocket only will use the same chain length

    Half the Power Loss (Compared with Normal O-Ring  X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed. Normal O-Rings and other makers’ modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction. The low friction X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss.

     X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain
